​Jackalope Theatre Company recognizes that Broadway Armory Park, and all of the spaces we have historically created in, sit on native land. This is the traditional homelands of the Council of Three Fires, including the Peoria, Bodwéwadmi (Potawatomi), Myaamia, Očhéthi Šakówiŋ, Hoocąk (Ho-Chunk), and Kiikapoi (Kickapoo). They are the original stewards of this land. We pay our respects to these stewards - past and present. We acknowledge that while colonialism and the forcible erasure of Native Nations is ongoing, so too is the gathering, healing, livelihood and persistence of Native people. This land continues to be a site of gathering and healing for more than a dozen other Tribal Nations and remains home to over 100,000 tribal members in the state of Illinois.

It is our goal that by acknowledging the origins of the land upon which we live and create, that we can be in honest, healthy collaboration with the vast community of Indigenous peoples and artists who have called this land home since time immemorial.

We are always learning and evolving, which means that our Land Acknowledgment will, too. We encourage you to learn more about the land upon which you live and its original stewards by visiting: https://native-land.ca/
